Hello everyone! I will introduce myself soon. I am a regualar thread reader 1st time poster 
Real quick.... no cages, in and out (2-3hr appointment slots) with 2 appointments at a time... 300 sqft leased shop. Hand dried, scissor finishes...
I have been trying to hire for almost a year with no luck... My husband and I are ready to start a family so we have three options...
Hire two Full time groomers to carry my clientele> not happening like I thought
I have been looking since Febuary.
Sell the business and continue to offer pet photography and retail out of my home.
or
Downsize by raising prices and reffering my dangerous/aggressive dogs elsewhere so that the clientele is back to where I can handle appointments on my own ...moving home where I have parking for 6, 2000sqft lower level (instaed of 300sqft) with grade entrance tiled, fireplace, storage...and no overhead
I can be home... instead of acroos town 12 hours/day...
I belive I am going to go with option #3... hehe
Ok... how do I as politly as possible loose the difficult pooches? I dont want to get bit, pee'd or pooped on while I am pregnant... nor do I want these animals in my home when I move the business there...
Currently I am on my own with a bather/dryer... I am doing 10-14 dogs/day... scissor finish! I am quick and perform one hec of a groom! Maybe thats why that darn phone wont stop ringing? Im exhausted! I am currently booking the last week of January... Despite my desperate need for groomers... I have had no such luck...
Any advice? Anyone send out letters or have something they hand out to inform people of their pets "issues" and recommend them elsewhere?
Thanks in advance!
